Simon Humke, 21 months, chases bubbles during a visit to his grandmother, Betty Humke’s house in Sheboygan. Simon is the son of Kristin and Joseph Humke, members of the Basilica of St. Mary in Minneapolis. The photo, taken by Erika Humke, a member of St. Clement Parish, Sheboygan, was selected a winner in Catholic Herald Parenting’s 2010 cover photo contest. In selecting the photo a winner, judges said it is “easily one of the best entries with its color and action,” and “is a great storytelling moment.”
